Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

For the first time offender, the mandatory minimum period of incarceration would be at least one year for the CPCS3. For the Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the 3rd Degree one can expect a term of incarceration of one year. The CPW3 holds a mandatory minimum sentence of one year, although the Court can set aside the the one year sentence. The misdemeanors each have a maximum sentence of one year. Depending upon the circumstances of the case the sentences could be served concurrently (at the same time) or consecutively (one after another).
